“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

I don't think engines existed during Washington's day.

No, in the 18th century they were referred to as 'savages.'

BTW, when I first got the Internet I got into a debate with a guy about Native Americans. I started doing some research on plains Indians. They did some really horrible things to settlers.
The purpose was just the same as today's Terrorism. Killing people is easy but they wanted to scare settlers away by horrific acts of torture.
It reminds me of our atomic bombs on Japan. The purpose is not to kill people. It's to make them give up.

The same thing occurred in Africa when the first white men came and tried to establish trade with the natives.
The first white trader was kidnapped by the male natives and his arms and legs were tied down to the ground then a stick was put in his mouth to keep his mouth open.
Then all of the women and children in the tribe pissed and shite in his mouth until he died.
That was supposed to scare all of the white people out of Africa. Instead, the next day the British troops in the area, who up until that time had never hurt any of the native women and children, attacked the tribe and killed everyone including all of the women and children.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.

I've heard this one the other way, too. "Ever notice all the women marching for abortion aren't likely to get pregnant anyway?'

I assue that's the point of the quote.
The Founders covered that too.
